Praise Song
(Carolyn Wilkins)
PRAISE SONG
Whenever I run into injustice
When people do things that just ain't right
Whenever I think there's been no progress
In this long and uphill fight.
CHORUS
Well I might be discouraged for a minute
Feelin' sorry for myself
Until I remember that all I've got
Was paid for by someone else
Martin Luther King
Lift every voice and sing
The praises of the martyr whose
Mighty voice
Made the bell of freedom ring
Every single day
I know I must say
I wouldn't be who I am where I am
Without this man
I'm lifted on the wing of
Martin Luther King
I know that the battle isn't over
Bigotry is with us alive and well
I know that the rich are getting richer
We gotta make sure to share the wealth.
CHORUS
